AUGUSTA, Ga., Aug. 12 (UPI) -- College golf fans have a new idol.

On Thursday, Smylie Kaufman announced that he picked up a new sponsor: Natural Light beer.

"Well I guess the cat is out of the bag," Kaufman tweeted. "Natty light and I have teamed up! Videos coming soon! #natty @naturallight."

The Smylie Army Twitter account, for Kaufman's "official unofficial" fan club, tweeted a photo of Kaufman on top of a throne of Natural Light beer cases.

The 24-year-old LSU graduate talked about his deal in a text message to the Advocate.
